SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 416,813, dated December10, 1889. Application filed January 11, 1888., Serial No. 260,409. (Nomodel.) Patented in France August 6, 1887, No. 185,167.

To aZZ whom, it may concern- Be it known that I, PIERRE TR'liMOULIERE, acitizen of the French Republic, residing at Bordeaux, in said FrenchRepublic, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Fasteners forLabels, Tags, 650., (for which I have obtained Letters Patent in Franceunder date of August 6, 1887, No. 185,167,) of which the following is aspecification.

a label or a tag, or a similar device bearing certain information, maybe readily and securely fastened to merchandise or packages ofmerchandise.

V The invention consists in a fastener com: posed of a head constructedto hold or retain the label or tag, or to which such label or tag may besecured in any desired manner, and of a prong or pin, or a plurality ofsuch, by means of which the fastener is pinned to the merchandise or topackages of such, substantially as hereinafter described and claimed.

Referring to the accompanying drawings, which form a partof thisspecification, Figures 1 and 1 are isometric views of one form offastener constructed according to my invention. Figs. 2 and 3 arerespectively top and bottom plan views showing the fastener applied to alabel or card. Fig. 4; is an isometric view of 'a fastener constructedlike that shown in Figs. 1, 2, and 3, butprovided with two prongs orpins. Figs. 5 and 6 are head 03 of the fastener consists of a metallicplate bent into U shape to form a clamp, between which the edge of acard or label is secured or clamped.

The head a of the fastener may be provided with any desired number ofpins 0. and two or more such fasteners may be employed to secure a cardor label to merchandise and hold it thereon perfectlyflat, in which casetwo or more of the edges of the card will be metalbound and protected bythe binding, so as not to be readily tornoif.

The fastener can be made very cheaply, as it may be stamped out ofsuitable sheet metal.

It is obvious that a fastener constructed as described may be readilyapplied with its card shaped head for the reception of one edge of thetag, and one or more prongs or pins extending in a straight line fromthe same for securing the tag to the merchandise, Substan: tially asdescribed.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand this22d day of December, 1887.

PIERRE TRFMQULIERE.
